Kevin not only stars in the series, but he serves as an executive producer.  The actor earned $500,000 per episode for its first season and because of its growing audience, Kevin’s salary increased each season, bringing him to $1.3M for its fifth season.  Yellowstone first premiered in 2018 and according to Daily Mail, “Each season of the drama has outperformed the last with the audience for season 4 four times the size of the one that tuned in for the first series.”
